I'm a girl.
No!
I'm a woman!
I'm a woman
Trapped
In a cage
Like a bird
Born in captivity.
Trapped
In the cage
Know as my own skin!
It's a sin!
It's a sin!
It's a sin!
Trapped in my skin!
It's a sin!
It's a sin.
It's a sin...
Congratulations!
It's a beautiful
Baby
Boy.
The movie
On repeat
Shows a maid
Telling a little girl
You is kind!
You is smart!
You is important!
My own parents,
Couldn't look me in the eyes,
And say those words.
It's a sin!
It's a sin!
It's a sin!
I'm trapped in this skin!
It's a sin!
It's a sin.
It's a sin...
We live in a world
With a society
So cruel
That people
Will never accept
Who
I
Am!
So cruel
That everyone
Is an outcast!
I live in a world,
Where
Management at kings island
Will except me
Before my parents ever will!
It's a sin!
It's a sin!
It's a sin!
Why can't I just rip
This god damned skin!
That might as well say
Hi my name is
On it!
It's wrong!
It's wrong!
It's wrong!
My body
Is
Not
Who
I
Am!
I live in a world where,
My parents had me buried
In a suit,
When all I ever wanted,
Was to be buried,
In a dress.
